Lenovo Flex 3 1580 lcd replacement

Q:Lenovo Flex 3 1580 lcd replacement

My screen has been plagued by yellowing in the corners but the digitizer is perfectly fine. I was wondering if anyone has any answers on whether or not you can just replace the lcd on laptop without replacing the whole screen/digitizer. the whole screen is 150 dollars and a lcd is just around 50-100. Also if you can point me to any part # or repair manuals that would be great. Thanks

I've searched the Lenovo site and can not find the replacement part number for my laptop (Flex 3-1580, Model 0007US, Machine Type 80R4, SN R90HAFJB) digitizer screen. Can anyone provide me with a link to the part needed and a video/pdf on how to do the replacement? Thanks

Hi there, the part number for the digitizer assembly is 5D10K42174, here's one on eBay; http://www.ebay.com/itm/5D10K42174-Lenovo-Flex-15-6-FHD-LED-LCD-Touch-Screen-Glass-Digitizer-Assembl...

Hi, I was thinking of buying this hybrid:https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16834332513 And then upgrading it with this:https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16820250085 I'm not clear on whether this voids the warranty or not? As close as I can understand it, it "may" if I mess something up? I've opened at least 100 laptops without messing anything up, so I'm confident I can do it without damaging anything, but I have also seen motherboards and touchscreens die in the first year, and don't want to mess up that part of the warranty for an SSD upgrade. I figured I'd make sure it powered on, then shutdown, crack it open, install the M.2 SSD, clone everything over, wipe the old SSD once into windows, and then finally perform the product registration. (Which uploads all your hardware specs? So they'd know everything was A-Okay with the new drive in place?) Thoughts? Anyone got more info on how strict they are with self service?

I can not find link of update file for BIOS on official support site.Lenovo companion offers download BIOS update of another types laptops(YOGA 3), but I don't want do it. I think it's dangerous.What should i do?

I recently purchased a new Pioneer DDJ SB2 DJ controller. Upon downloading the neccessary software and firmware from Serato DJ and Pioneer, I connected my controller to my computer via usb cord provided by Pioneer. However, when I opened Serato to start playing around, a error message came up saying that my hardware was disconnected. I looked up support from Serato as I thought it was a software issue. I quickly realized it wasn't after going through all the troubleshooting steps they provided. I then asked my friend to try out the program on his computer (MacBook), to see if it was a software issue or a computer problem. As expected it instantly worked on his laptop without any issues. I determined it was a problem with my computer. I took it to Geek Squad so they could have a look. Unable to fix it, they believe its a Windows 10 issue. So now I am coming to Lenovo to see if they can fix this problem. I find it ridiculous that out of nowhere my computer can no longer detect a usb plug in from my iPhone, external harddrive, and DJ controller. Has anybody else had these issues?Specs: Windows 10Version 1607Intel Core i78.00GB RAM64-bit operating system

Hi all, I recently upgraded my Ideapad Flex 4 with a new SSD, and shortly after began noticing random shutdowns, black screens, and failure to POST (it looked as though the BIOS had failed to initialize entirely, as the screen/keyboard backlights did not turn on). These symptoms often happened after the laptop incurred some form of shock, IE: picking the laptop up, setting it down, opening/closing the screen, or even simply tapping lightly on the keyboard or chasis. However, if the laptop were left completely undisturbed, these symptoms would not occur often. I tried literally everything I could imagine short of buying a new motherboard. I reseated (and then replaced) the RAM, I removed the batteries and let it sit overnight, I even tried flashing a new BIOS rom. After all that, I switched the SSD with the original HDD, and it works fine now (actually a little better, because the embedded controller had needed resetting for a while, but I hadn't gotten around to it until then). I wasn't aware that a simple SATA SSD could cause a laptop to fail to POST. As this happened several times over a couple of days, is there any chance of long-term damage to the MOBO/BIOS i should watch out for?

Hi,As soon as I switch my laptop, I can see the desktop top image with pink and fuzzy look. It stared with yellow dull screen at he beginning before the pink color shown up. The screen will be in dull yellow while I open chrome or any white background appllication. The pink clor comes up if I open a video or any other apps without white background. This also come in safe mode. I have done the graphic driver update and see the same problem. Dont know what is the actual reason. Please help me..!!

Please help! I've been using sleep mode for pretty much the entire time that I have had this laptop (one month plus). This is the first time I sent it into sleep mode for the evening and awoke the next day to find that the laptop refuses to wake up. The keyboard will light up merrily along with the power button, but the screen will not turn on. The fans are also running full tilt. I can hear them running loud and clear, which is abnormal as during normal operations I cannot hear this machine running at all. After having a jet engine for a previous laptop, this was one of my favorite features of the Flex 3. I have tried doing a ton of different things to get the laptop to wake up again including power resets and using the Novo button. Nothing has worked. If I could get at the battery and motherboard battery without voiding my warranty, I would. My only solution is to try to run the battery down by leaving it on with the keyboard lights as bright as they will go and let the fan run like a jet engine. Hopefully this will drain the battery in faster than the 4 days that everyone else was reporting. Anyways, I don't know how everyone's Flex 3's lasted that long on battery anyways. Mine kept turning itself on. The point of this post is to ask what I can do so that this issue never crops up again. I love this machine, but if this becomes a recurring problem, I'm going to have to can it and g... Read more

A:Lenovo Flex 3 1580- Will Not Wake Up from Sleep Mo...

Have you tried updating the BIOS for your model yet? I have the same one and had problems with it never waking up from sleep. Haven't had a problem with it since the update though.

Sometimes when I'm using my Lenovo Flex 3, the screen suddenly turns blue and it does not respond unless I hold the power button to force it to shut down. Here are some errors/stopcodes which I've also received on other occasions. Any suggestions/advice would be appreciated! Thanks

I have had my lenovo flex 4 1580 for less than a year, and while I love it there seem to be problems. And I am a law student so this is causing me a lot of anxiety. In the last few weeks the computer has started to freeze, and requires me to physically press the power button to restart it. I have tried a system recovery before the installation of windows 10 creative, I have tried unistalling/reinstalling java, I continue to check my system for updates. I have disabled the background apps. I am not running alot just mozillafoxfire, microsoft word, spotity (maybe), google chrome, and that is about it. And yet the CPU and or memory will just shoot through the roof and it will freeze. It feels like there is some big program running in the backgroud but I have checked the task master and I do not know what it is..... Now it says that the computer is plugged in and it is not charging...I have checked the conservation mode is off, I tried the settings airplane mode is off, I do not see any other other problems...am I missing something. I am hoping that these problems can be fixed, quickly,

I have a Lenovo Flex 4 1580, I have enclosed a screen shot, it is "Plugged in and not charging" ? How do I fix this? I tried restoring to a recover point, a full system wipe and reinstalling windows, but so far nothing has worked. What do I do?

Right now I have a problem with the w key on my laptop key board. For all the other keys it registers a press when you feel the key give way. However for my w key you do not have to press it, only rest you finger lightly on it and it will register a keystroke. This is a problem for me because I rest my finger on W S and E all at the same time which leads to a lot of random w's throughout my typing. Let me know if there is anything I can do other than replace my keyboard.

My old W8.1 Flex 15 has it in the apps, and I use it to blow out internal dust, and to also reset the battery condition gauge. I see this Lenovo Utility listed in the add/remove programs area of the control panel of my Flex-3 1580, but can't find it elsewhere to get it to run. How can I get this Lenovo Utility to open, and use its features. Thank you.

Hi all, Last night, I managed to power on an old Flex 3 15" that I had lent to a friend. When it started booting, it prompted me to press a key to skip disk checking. Being curious as to whether the laptop has a HDD issue or not, I let it run. It now has been over 24 hours, and without a progress-bar, I'm not sure if it is stuck or is actually working. I'm not sure as to how much data is on the drive since he returned it to me without giving me his password. Any suggestions as to what to do?

I recently purchased this laptop and did not spend any time playing on the keyboard prior to the purchase. I am now regretting this purchase as I cannot understand nor adapt to the right shift key not being in the standard location. Why would Lenovo design a keyboard that would not be conducive to touch typing? I cannot seem to change my 45 years of touch typing experience to accomadate this major change. It makes no sense. Is anyone else having this issue and what if anything can be done about it?

Hello everyone. I must say that it is a lovely laptop but the touch screen issue is making me very upset. I called Lenovo and Microsoft support and those people doesn't even have a bit of knowledge. Many incertain process and lot of doubts in them. But it can't be a hardware problem. I bought it 1 week ago and when I opened the factory sealed box the touch screen worked perfectly! And a few hours later would stop working. No pen and touch input available, no hid compliant touch screen in device manager. I read almost every thread about this complain in this forum. Tried everything without success. The laptop is 99% good.. But without the touch screen is like trash. Hope someone can understand and if there's a solution, please tell me and I beg you send me specifics links or specifics procedures, please don't tell me "go to support.lenovo.com" or "do a system recovery or windows 10 update", etc. Thank you.

I have received two updates from Windows Update in settings on Windows 10. They are for the Flex 4-1580 and they are Lenovo Firmware 2.22.0, which released on 2/23/2017, which failed to install, and Lenovo Firmware 2.23.0, which released on 3/24/2017, which failed to install as well. I was wondering if anyone has faced the same issues, and if so, how you may have gone about to resolve it.

I have a problem installing windows 7 on my new windows 10 laptop. I find it very weird how I change settings in the BIOS to support all legacy stuff like windows 7 and I try to boot from USB all the way to dvd and nothing works. What I mean is when it is done booting, it says " No drivers were found" and there's not a hard drive for me to choose windows 7. It's weird though because there are windows 7 drivers on the official support page, yet I can't install it?

I just need to see a hard drive listed but nothing pops up, and yes I've formatted it already using diskpart.

I have a lenovo flex 3 1580 80r4 laptop the one with the nvidia 940m graphics card, this one -> https://www.cnet.com/products/lenovo-flex-3-1580-80r4-15-6-core-i7-6500u-8-gb-ram-1-tb-hdd-80r40007u... anyways my daughter got a few drops of something sticky (soda) under the keys, it wasnt enough to damage anything, but now a few of the keys are a bit sticky when u press them, my question is how do you remove the keys one at a time without breaking them, i heard laptop keys are easy to break, and im pretty sure there is some kind of clips holding them, anyone know? thanx

Help Lenovo Flex 3 1580 80R4 screen is constantly going black when the computer is still on forcing me to reboot all day long while trying to work. Hard boot, resetting battery usage and screen dispay setting have not worked. It has done this since the day I got it nothing I have tried stops this HELP!!! Is there a download or something as a fix??

I accidentally deleted my nvidia graphics drivers, and the latest version doesnt work. Knowing the drivers which came with the computer will let me re install them. Thanks.

A:Lenovo flex 3 1580 Nvidia graphics drivers fabric version

You might check to see if the earlier drivers are still present on your system by doing the following Right-click on StartSelect Device ManagerLeft-click on Display Adapters to expand.Right-click on your display adapter, and select Update DriverSelect "Browse my computer for driver software"Select "Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer"This should provide a list of drivers previously installed on your systemTo switch to one of them, choose an older driver and click Next.It would be hard to know exactly what driver was installed when your system was new, because Lenovo does not provide release notes for its drivers as its certifies them, but older drivers for the Nvidia 940M card should be available from Nvidia, as well as newer driver versions that those release by Lenovo that may resolve your problem. which can be found here https://www.geforce.com/drivers Good Luck,

I've had to send my Flex 2-15 out for repairs, and it either came back missing screws or they've fallen out in the meantime. I really don't want to have to deal with Lenovo support again. I've looked up the parts and it shows that it's a repair technician fix only. Ideally I would lovee for Lenovo to just send me some extra screws, but again, the support received thus far has left a lot to be desired. Searching the forums, someone mentioned they've used (on their Yoga 2), M2 5mm screws, or even the 6mm. Can anyone confirm this screw type could work for the Flex 2-15?

Solved! Go to Solution.

A:Lenovo Flex 2-15 Screw Replacement

hi frustrated09,

Welcome to the Forums.

Depending on the part / area where the missing screws are, yes, the M2.5 (4mm, 4.5mm) and M2 (6mm) will work on the Flex 2-15 as they're listed on the hardware maintenance manual.

Hi - I recently purchased the entire screen replacement assembly to repair my flex laptop. I've connected the new screen but when I turn on the laptop the screen lights up but does not display anything. Just a white light lit screen. Not sure what I did incorrectly. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hey guys, I've been looking all over for screw replacement specs and can't find any. Most of the screws on my bottom panel are stripped because they have really poor quality. Can someone send me a link to the dimensions or a kit with a lot of the replacement screws for the bottom panel? Also, any tips for getting a stripped screw out? Thanks

Hey all, Im currently working in a cruise ship and some water got into my Lenovo Flex 4-1470 80SA. The motherboard is shot. I'm wondering what motherboard to buy or if there is a similar computer I can just buy and put my old hard drive into a new computer. I'll be in Europe through October and haven't been able to find the flex 4 at all. Any artifice at all would be great!! other specs:Intel Core i7-6500UAMD Radeon R5 M430 graphics16gb ram

Hi everyone, nice to be a new member here. I'm currently using a Flex-15, that has been doing OK over the last few years, aside from ghost touches early on, then the touch screen died (still using 8.1). Thinking of getting a Flex-3 80R40011US (i7/256 SSD/M940), but many reviews seem not so kind, and I am really torn about what to do. I really like all of the features of the Flex-3, but reading of the black screen/shutting down issues, bad battery life, etc has me concerned. The black screen shutting down is really a concern, even say after reading potential fixes here, and worried I will have a computer that can not be made to work properly... Really don't want to get into a mess, right off of the bat, and can't afford to take a 15% restocking fee plus return shipping. Is this issue over represented here, or do all owners experience this issue? Is there an absolute 100% fix for this issue? Also would like to know about the display quality. I had a 17" Y700 that had a golden cast, and despite a lot of fidling and BIOS update, it could not be corrected... I hated it to be frank, and wonder if this type of issue, and/or other display issues are found in the Flex-3, with the 15.6" display? Thanks a lot for your help and insights, look forward to your replies.

Dear Lenovo, I purchased this device, Flex 3-1580, at Office Depot some time ago. At random times, it will do the following: Video goes black; Backlight remains on. Audio will stop as well. Can't tell if any fan is running or not, nor can I tell if HDD is running. Keyboard may or may not be lit, but is unresponsive. Only way to get out of it is to hold power button until it turns off, let things clear out for ten seconds, and restart. Here are the conditions under which, after some months of trying to reproduce the results consistently, this crash seems to happen: a) Does it regardless of power source, be it battery or AC adapter. b) Unit can sit on a table for hours, unused, and not crash; but it may crash - eventually (keep that in mind, it'll come in handy). c) Unit only seems to crash when I'm writing a Word document, working an Excell worksheet, or attempting something productive, like chatting with a Lenovo TS person to try and resolve this (which I've attempted three times, and all three times the thing has crashed mid-chat). I've read the forums about similar problems. I've updated the BIOS to the best of my ability. Installed the new ME software. I'm not updating the video driver because as far as I can tell that's impossible at my end, and there's no way I'm reinstalling Windows 10 if I don't have to. So let's revisit b) and c) above. Unit can sit on a table, perhaps just watching youtube or something, and nothing happens... Read more

Hi. My laptop seems to crash at roughly 1 hour of use, regardless of battery life or what I am doing. Screen goes black and I am unabe to do anything. I am still able to adjust the brightness of the backlighting and I can see that the screen does turn off and on, but it will still be black. This started happeneing a little while ago. No idea why honestly. Any insight would be appreciated. I have updated the display drivers only since it was crashing a lot when wacthing youtube.

Lenovo Flex 3 1580 I've tried multiple lenovo AC adapters and the laptop still won't charge. It's got about 4% battery left so it's turned off atm. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the battery drivers, but that did nothing. The charging light won't come on, the only light is the low battery light. The battery is the built-in kind so taking it out isn't an option. I don't know what to do, someone please help.

Hello everyone, I'm new here and I come with a problem. My flex 3 just stopped working, anytime I turn it on it shows the Lenovo start screen then goes black and shows the Lenovo start screen and goes black and the process goes on and on irrespective of the power source. Can someone please help me?

I am running a Flex-3 1580 with Windows 10. I don't know if it is a hardware problem, Windows 10, problem or the combination of the two, but my system uses all of my 8GB of memory and locks up 2 to 3 times a day requiring me to force power off in order to resume processing. Am I going to have to get more memory or is something else going on that I need to fix? Lenovo Solution Center says that all is well with the system.

My laptop has recently been unable to power on. Initially this started with the power button falling out of place, but that issue was fixed by a successfull re-solder of the button onto the board. In the process i seem to have pulled out 2 wires out of the speaker connector dont know if this actually affects the power cycling. Now the laptop doesnt power on still. I have tried the following: - Removing the BIOS battery, and unit battery then plugging in the AC adapter. Once i plug in the adapter the machine powers on immediately, but it never successfully starts up. The screen stays black and the machine trys to boot up but nothing even happens. This is also accompanied by the CPU fan spinning up, and then the fan turns off after about 5s. -Have tried powering on the device with just Adapter and bios battery, yeilds no results. -Tried a normal power on with all battries in, and adapter in. Basically tried everything in this link and nothing worked https://www.urtech.ca/2015/10/solved-lenovo-flex-3-flashing-power-light-but-will-not-power-up/
